Do teen-age patients with a dislocated knee cap do better with or without a brace?
This study will look at two different ways to treat teen-age patients who have had a dislocation of their knee cap. Both groups will receive the physical therapy treatment for knee cap dislocation but one group will first be in a brace for a week and the other group will start moving in therapy right away.
41 studies on the registry are indexed under Patellar Dislocation; 9 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 60 is above the median of 50 across 22 interventional studies indexed under Patellar Dislocation.
